Kaplan PU660 unit 2 Assignment
Unit 2 Assignment
Public Health Timeline
Summarize the significance of both historical and current factors that influence health and disease in developed international countries and/or developing third world countries by creating a timeline that identifies the critical economic, socio-political, and cultural events that have shaped that country’s current health and disease status Select one developed and one developingcountry of your choice and plan to go back 100 years to the present
You may select the format of your timeline (ppt, pdf, doc, etc), however, it must be a graphical representation that displays each critical event, provides a short description of the event, and is presented in chronological order
The purpose of this assignment is to comprehend the significance of the historical and current factors in proving how economic, sociopolitical, and cultural factors enhance or interfere with maintaining health of the global communities; you will also learn to differentiate how these factors are different among developed and underdeveloped global countries
Please be sure to include your name and assignment in the document and file name

Kaplan PU660 unit 4 Assignment
Composite Measures for Health
Based on the review of health development across international countries, develop criteria on how the health and disease levels can be assessed to create a “quality of life scale” for health organizations to utilize
Using a composite measure such as Healthy life year (HeaLY) or Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy (HALE), take the countries you used for the Unit 2 assignment and apply this composite measure to provide a quality of life assessment
Then write a 2-3 page, position paper explaining your rationale of why you think these measures are good or poor for long-range assessments and what can be done to improve this situation Be sure to include your developed criteria and quality of life assessment
Your writing should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc) and APA style guidelines Your work should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful Your submission should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics

Kaplan PU660 unit 6 Assignment
Analyzing epidemiological data
Based on the review of global health disparities across inter/intra national countries, analyze data by the use of epidemiological analytical methods to infer the factors or causes for these public health disparities
Select any three countries of your choice (one from a developed nation, a ‘second world’ country, and an underdeveloped third world country) and find epidemiological data such as fertility indicators (crude birth and death rates) and other health indicators Provide an analysis among your three sample countries in a 3-5 page paper
Your writing should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc) and APA style guidelines Your work should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful Your submission should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics

Kaplan PU660 unit 8 Assignment
PRECEDE-PROCEED Model
Based on the review of global health epidemiological applications (methods), apply and analyze data to international public health programs to determine stability/instability of health and wellness of these countries
Select any one of your three countries used in an earlier assignment and determine a serious health issue that country struggles with Using the

PRECEDE-PROCEED model, design a model to promote health promotion for this public health issue
Final project
Due by end of unit 9 week
Based on the review of global health disparities across both inter/intra national countries, and using epidemiological analytical methods to infer the factors or causes for these public health disparities (such as historical and current factors of economic, sociopolitical, and cultural concerns), evaluate these strategies and methods to discern pandemic potential of those human diseases in the international community
Develop a PowerPoint presentation (addressing the country used in your Unit 2 assessment) on the potential for pandemic outbreakSelect a disease (or emerging infection) that could potentially become epidemic in that country or spread globally as a pandemic Provide scholarly research to back up your assumption There should be a maximum of 20 slides, along with ‘Notes’ narrative provided for each slide

Kaplan PU660 unit 2
International Cultural Factors
What does “international culture” mean and how are some of health disparities noted in underdeveloped global communities derived from these international cultural factors? Provide examples to support your discussion

Kaplan PU660 unit 3
Quality of Life Scales
What are some of the factors associated with the Quality of Life scales, particularly for the Healthy Life Year and Healthy Life Expectancy? How can these instruments be used to predict the quality of life in developing countries?

Kaplan PU660 unit 5
International epidemiology principles
Analyze the criteria for establishing a cause and effect relationship with respect to health/disease and explain how these criteria can be researched by using epidemiological measures

Kaplan PU660 unit 6
Using epidemiological tools to predict a community’s health needs
Discuss how a community health assessment can be used as a tool to address community health care needs Think of international global communities for your examples

In light of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic and the more recent 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, what are some of the epidemiological patterns that were noted in 1918 that must be taken to avoid another major pandemics in the global society? How would you create a new plan to mitigate the level of morbidity and mortality to the next pandemic that should occur?
